After having it recommended by Dan I decided to get some of this and give it a go ...
I'm stripping the 'cornetto' off my Supercross as I have a suspicion its been powdered over untouched chrome :coolsmiley:
I paid my £28 and a very well padded parcel arrived.

This stuff says DO NOT F**K WITH ME so I had to tighten up my usually caviler attitude to chemicals by donning gloves and a decent mask ( not gimp )

just did a little test under the BB to see what would happen... painted a little on and waited 10 mins...
Some nice bubbling going on... this is what you want Nitromors to look like but it never does...

I little prod to disturb the surface and .... wow... no effort ... no damage to the chrome... SPOT ON.

never :LolLolLolLol: I would have left it 'green' but when I was getting the headset out a big chunk of green flaked off ... its just been powdered over the un-prepped chrome so that was bound to happen ... gonna get it stripped and build it up again :daumenhoch: from 2 green bikes to 'none' in a day! :angel: :LolLolLolLol:

Ed I would be VERY careful with that stuff reading the warnings it states Possible risk of irreversible effects
And lets be fair.......you have a few too many of them already :-*

Oh boy, I could be here for hours on THAT subject....... but I won't :LolLolLolLol:
Ed, wanna sell some of that as I'm going to do exactly the same thing to my GT Pro as it was sprayed a very nice navy blue over the chrome by a former owner, but it's flaking off left right and bleedin' centre :-\

daft question, but will this gear fook anodizing? just got a bike with some badly painted annod bits. was hoping to strip the paint and see if they survive?

it's fine if you don't leave it over night, also some anno is etched deep so it's strong and can take the stripper
but some annos come of straight away, the more expensive part the better the anno :daumenhoch:

Need a few built up pictures Ed :daumenhoch: stop Fooking around with that old ships anchor and let's see the proper bike ;)
